And on the subject of transportation, how useful is a bicycle? My D will be taking *some* science/math classes. Do most students use bikes to get up the hill, or is the campus consolidated and congested to the point that a bike is not needed? She'll be living in L-Dub in a quad, and then Pierson (and, yes, she already believes its the best college at Yale). She's an athlete so needs to get to the gym every day. Does snow/cold prevent cycling for long stretches in the winter? Do the bike racks simply become abstract scultures, or do people use their bikes year-round?

Another question: does she need to buy a printer, or are they commonly available to students within the residence hall?

Also, I've heard the rooms in L-Dub are pretty tiny. Any advice on just how light to travel?
